Ever wondered what the England football captain Harry Kane orders at Starbucks? Well, it’s a handcrafted flat white with sugar-free vanilla syrup, a double shot of Starbucks signature espresso roast and oat drink. “Harry’s Flat White” – available exclusively in Starbucks stores in England.

The best part is for every drink sold from launch on 13^th  March until April 30^th 2025, 25p from each Harry’s Flat White sold will be donated to The Harry Kane Foundation (HKF) to go towards charity partners Mental Health Innovations and Bounce Forward to help support mental wellbeing initiatives across England*.

This launch is part of our ongoing partnership with The Harry Kane Foundation; a charity founded in 2022 by the England men’s football captain and Bayern Munich striker, Harry Kane.

For some added fun and to celebrate the launch of “Harry’s Flat White”, we’ve created a very special piece of art… Renowned food artist Michelle Sugar has created a striking portrait of the man himself all from expired Starbucks coffee beans!

And our work to celebrate the partnership doesn’t stop there. To uplift our incredible Starbucks partners, we worked with Mental Health Innovations to deliver mental health awareness training. We’ve also been spotlighting our partners who have displayed acts of kindness in their everyday. Starbucks business managers were given the opportunity to nominate baristas who go that little extra mile in the name of kindness and five lucky baristas have won a green apron signed by our flat white hero Harry Kane. 

“Grabbing a coffee has always been an essential part of my daily routine. Sometimes it’s first thing before training, before a match or when I’m relaxing with friends and family,” says Harry Kane, “whenever I want a coffee, I choose a flat white, it’s part of my routine and it helps me prepare. Football is about dedication, and I take my preparation very seriously, that is something I pride myself on. Those moments off the pitch, connecting with people, socialising and chatting with my teammates have always been important to me.”

Harry Kane continues: “That’s why I’m so excited to launch Harry’s Flat White in partnership with Starbucks. With 25p from each purchase going to charities that support mental health, we’re creating more opportunities for people to connect, talk, and support each other in meaningful ways.”

Supporting life-changing charities

Harry Kane believes in the simple but powerful impact of talking and often goes into schools to inspire children with the confidence to speak up. Here at Starbucks, we believe in the power of connection too. It’s always been our mission to bring people together over quality coffee. We’re passionate about creating safe spaces for people to build meaningful connections – because we know community matters.  

We teamed up with The Harry Kane Foundation for the first time last year to address the stigma around mental health and bring people together for conversations over coffee. We also donated £500,000 over 12 months to support the foundation’s important advocacy work. Now, we’re excited to kick-off the next stage of this partnership, this time raising money for charities Bounce Forward and Mental Health Innovations.

Alex Rayner, General Manager at Starbucks UK, said, “At Starbucks, we believe in the power of coffee to bring people together, and our continued partnership with The Harry Kane Foundation is a reflection of that. Over the past year, we’ve seen how small conversations can make a big impact on mental wellbeing, and we’re proud to keep that momentum going with the launch of Harry’s Flat White”.

A game-changer for young people

In football, resilience is everything. Resilience is what gets you back on your feet after a tough match and pushes you to keep going after a setback. Bounce Forward is a charity helping the next generation to develop greater emotional resilience.

To do so, they’ve created a five-year Healthy Minds curriculum for schools, with lessons co-authored by Harry Kane and his wife Kate. With support from The Harry Kane Foundation, over 60 additional secondary schools across the UK have now adopted the curriculum, reaching thousands of students. With the extra support from our donation, the charity hopes to reach more students, as well as help parents to nurture resilience at home.

“When it comes to mental health, prevention is better than cure,” says Lucy Bailey, CEO and Founder, Bounce Forward, “it’s our second year of working with The Harry Kane Foundation and to be supported with this Starbucks campaign is truly special. What better way to support the mental resilience of the next generation than enjoying a Harry Flat White, with friends and family. Enjoy, connect and spread the happiness.”

The second charity to benefit from the donation will be Mental Health Innovations, which operates Shout – the UK’s only free, 24/7 text messaging service for mental health support. Anyone in the UK can text ‘SHOUT’ to 85258 and receive confidential support from a trained volunteer.

“We are immensely grateful to The Harry Kane Foundation and Starbucks for their support,” says Victoria Hornby, CEO of Mental Health Innovations, “their generous funding means that we can harness our unique data insight, clinical expertise and the valuable input and feedback from young people to develop a brand-new, digital, early intervention tool to support the mental health of thousands of young people.”

Every cup counts

Sometimes, even small gestures can have a big impact. A kind word, an offer of support, a quick text message – or something as simple as ordering a coffee. Head to your local Starbucks and order Harry’s Flat White today to support the incredible work of Bounce Forward and Mental Health Innovations.
